Nature Education Center & Outdoor Scientific Playground

Nature Education Center is designed to provide nature education to individuals of all ages, especially K-12 students. It is aimed to make children, teenagers and adults more conscious individuals in this field and to fight against climate change and ecophobia.

The Nature Education Center and Outdoor Scientific Playground provides a stimulating environment where education, fun, and nature converge. Our goal is to motivate a new generation of environmentally aware individuals who hold nature in high esteem. Our center delivers a one-of-a-kind, hands-on experience that integrates science, art, and nature education.

At our Nature Education Center, visitors can explore and discover the wonders of the natural world through interactive games and scientific experiments. Our scientific discovery walks provide an opportunity to learn about local flora and fauna and experience nature through all five senses. Our playground is designed to encourage physical activity, creative thinking, and problem-solving skills through play and exploration.

Our center is a leader in forest pedagogy, and we are proud to offer education and curricula that promote sustainability and zero-waste principles. By promoting a deep connection with nature, we hope to instill a lifelong appreciation and understanding of our environment.
